604 George Emery8 Ranney (brother to Hezekiah Bartlett), b. June 13, 1839, Batavia, N. Y.; m. Sept. 15, 1869, Lansing, Mich., Isabella E. Sparrow, b. Mar. 7, 1851, Enniscorthy, Ireland, dau. of Bartholomew Sparrow and Sarah Lee. She came with her family in 1858 to Lansing, grad. 1859, at the Michigan Female College.

Previous to her enforced imprisonment and impaired strength, from disease, she had become well and familiarly known, not only in Lansing, but by numerous choice friends in many parts of the State, and many beyond its borders. She early imbibed these interesting traits of character, which showed so conspicuously in her after life. She was a woman of great tenderness of character and was admirably adapted by her many virtues to dignify and adorn domestic life.

From girlhood she exhibited a thirst and most excellent taste for literature of the highest order. She was a constant reader, and with a most remarkable memory, she became proficient in ancient and modern history, which made her a ready source of reference concerning historical events, of which she could give names, dates and events leading up to them and their results. She enjoyed reading the Bible, not only for its spiritual and devotional value, but as a literary work. The characters of Shakespeare were as familiar to her as her own acquaintances and the works of Dickens and other standard novels were to her as household words.

She was a sufferer from consumption for twelve years, and sojourned in this country and in Europe, where the climate promised relief. She was a mem. of the Episcopal ch. and had been Pres. of Lansing Woman’s Club.

Dr. Ranney at the age of seventeen was freight and ticket agent of the R. R. Co. He studied at Stafford, Rushford and Cary Collegiate Seminaries. Studied medicine at the Uni. of Mich. In 1861 he enlisted as a private, Sept. 9, 1861, in the Second Cavalry for three years, being twenty-three years of age at enlistment.

Took part in Rosecran’s campaign against Chattanooga in Sherman’s campaign against Atlanta, and in the fall and winter of 1864-5 in the engagements, first against Forrest’s and then Wheeler’s raids in Tennessee. Later in opposing Hood’s advance across the Tennessee River to Nashville and in his repulse at Nashville and pursuit back across the Tennessee River; besides the many skirmishes which only for the few contestants employed would rank as engagements.
